A movie where Bai Ling must save an unnecessarily creepy space-colony(?) from a non-mcguffin that (slowly) explodes people into a glob of worm-tentacles, in nothing but some goth gogo boots and a misplaced accent.

 

Also starring:

Paul Atreides (of the miniseries)

The Murder Victim from Chink

Faye Dunaway as the specter of a famous actress

Glasses Smoker from Lady in the Water (who I seriously thought was Andrew from Buffy)

The Coroner from CSI with the most WTF hair a bald man could offer

Evil General from Dragon Wars (and his cohost of a wig rejected from LoTR)

And Daniel Zacapa as pure boot-shit-licking obsessed HAAAAMMMM

 

Stray thoughts:

-The thing I need to most point out is Bai Ling's makeup, and yes she does appear like that through out 95% of the film, and yes there are just random streaks of color on her face, and no she did not just show up to set like that (which was my initial thought), her personal makeup was done by the illustrious Crystal Wolfchild. And yes you get to see her both shower and cry it off.

-best quote: Randall: You've pissed me off too many times, Jackie. So now I'm gonna piss on you.

[He begins to urinate on Jackie]

-this was made to tie-in with Capitol Records, makers of electro-goth music (barely any music appears). Also

; or off, and that's why no main actors appear for two minutes.

-When I first saw this movie many years ago I was confused as why they had this in a space colony (still not clear on that) and not just ruined Detroit or LA, but when I watched this last night I finally learned that this apparently is based off a comic-book series.

-This has that weird English-Chinese language fusion like in Firefly (but 300% more Asians) where everything written down is in Chinese so I really want to know if is actually says something or is just lines copied from a take-out menu. Also has random flying Junk ships, like Fifth Element.
